Call for Abstracts
You are invited to submit an abstract for either of the following presentation types. Submission deadline
1 November 2009.
(a) Paper - Oral Presentation
(b) Paper - Poster Presentation
If your preferred presentation type is Paper - Oral Presentation, but you would like to be considered
for a Poster if your abstract is not accepted as an Oral Presentation, please select both Oral Presentation
and Poster Presentation.
The abstracts sought are not intended for publication in the conference proceedings, but only to determine
if the presentation will be accepted for presentation at the conference. We will judge abstracts not
only on the scientific content, but on originality, potential impact/importance of the topic, novelty
and relevance. If you have new information that you wish to publish and broadcast at the IDF Symposium
on Fermented Milk but which is not yet complete, please feel free to submit an abstract indicating
the intention of your proposed research, bearing in mind that the extended abstract for publication
in the conference proceedings need not be submitted until after November 2009.
We look forward to hearing of any new and exciting directions that your research is uncovering!
The themes at the IDF Symposium on Fermented Milk are:
· The Effects and influence of cultures
· Nutrition and health
· The effects and influence of ingredients
· Processing technology, monitoring and control
